Dispose of bulky waste: How to avoid dangerous misunderstandings!
In Lower Saxony, the collection of bulky waste is seen as a particularly practical service for citizens. Several times a year, large furniture, old household appliances and other waste that doesn't fit in regular garbage cans can simply be placed on the street. However, the Helmstedt district points out common misunderstandings and errors when providing bulky waste. From a recent report by News38 It appears that many citizens dismantle their furniture to make collection easier. This sounds like a good idea at first, but it can lead to serious problems.
It can quickly happen that disassembled parts slip during transport and cause injuries. The district therefore recommends not dismantling bulky waste excessively and, if possible, providing it as a whole. Another point that is raised concerns the tone towards the garbage collection employees. They report frequent, disrespectful and aggressive behavior from citizens. The responsible authorities ask everyone involved to engage in an objective and polite dialogue.
Important information about bulky waste disposal
The Helmstedt district has clear rules and structures for collecting bulky waste. In addition to large furniture and household appliances, some electrical appliances such as stoves, dishwashers or refrigerators can also be registered, as can be seen from the information from AWH Holzminden emerges. Examples of bulky waste range from mattresses to carpet runners to large metal parts, which can also be picked up. Mineral components such as table tops made of stone or glass, on the other hand, must be delivered as building rubble to special facilities, which are free of charge.
If you want to ensure that your waste is disposed of correctly, you can contact the Helmstedt district waste advisory service at any time. You can reach them at 05351/121-2517 or by email abfallberatung@landkreis-helmstedt.de.
Registration and data protection
The Helmstedt district is responsible for registering bulky waste collection, under the direction of District Administrator Gerhard Radeck. Detailed information about registration and the applicable data protection regulations can be found on the district’s website. The collection and processing of data takes place in accordance with the guidelines of the KrWG and the waste disposal and waste fee statutes. The contact details required for this, such as collection and home address as well as information about the bulky waste, are recorded. It is also important that the data is only stored for a period of seven years in order to meet legal requirements.
If you have any questions or have problems during garbage collection, interested citizens can contact the district administration directly. The contact details are also on the district's official website landkreis-helmstedt.de to find.
